I had the pleasure of photographing Vicky’s Sweet 16s this weekend with a friend and colleague of mine, Karina.  It’s always fun and exciting for me to shoot any event but I must say it was distinctively nice to be able to work alongside a friend. So Vicky turned 16, oh how sweet! Her parents arranged a wonderful night at the Bonaventure Golf Club in Weston, FL with her friends and family. Vicky was so sweet and evidently overwhelmed with joy that night. Unlike the show, My Sweet 16s, the event was not overly lavish…it was better! It was filled with more smiles, laughs and tears of joy than I’ve ever seen in the show!

Teri and Chris’ wedding was one of those that are just filled with grace and joy.  It is truly evident that they are an honest and kind-hearted couple. Their smiles and laughter were inviting every moment of the day. Thank you both so much (you too Jennifer ) for this opportunity.  I wish you both and your families nothing but the best.

Okay I believe the picture speaks for itself and there’s probably no need to tell you what a cute couple Jen & Mike are. They were absolutely adorable the whole night! After shooting so many weddings, it’s couples like them that give meaning to the words “meant to be”. As always, thank you both and it’s been a pleasure!

I shot Adrian and Chondell’s wedding a couple of weeks ago…I know, I know my timing is not exactly in order Nonetheless, this was a particularly special wedding because I had the pleasure to work as a team with one of the best event designers and sound company in S. Florida.  Tangie, as usual you did an amazing job with the decor, the chosen colors and details were spectacular. To view pics of the decor, visit Tangie’s blog at admardecorblog.com

As to the couple, a big congratulations on the 10 years you’ve already achieved! I wish the next 10 will be twice as good! I loved shooting you both, thanks for taking the time to create so many memorable shots during the night

I can’t express the absolute pleasure I had photographing the Quinter-Stafford wedding in Key West this past weekend. Aside from getting to lay back and get a nice tan after the wedding It was quite a breath-taking event. Liz the bride was so beautiful inside and out, she cried almost through the entire wedding awww…Liz, Mitch and their family & friends flew all the way to the tip of Florida from Ohio for their destination wedding. I can’t speak for them but I’m pretty sure there are NO regrets!

The ceremony and reception were right by the water in the amazing resort, Casa Marina. Speaking of, I must mention how great it was to meet Ronnie the coordinator at Casa Marina. He was very nice, helpful and not to forget, funny! I think his sense of humor helped the bride enjoy her preparations even more!
